The Profile of the Level of Endogenous Exhaled NO on the Migraine Sufferers

Migraine is a health problem which had a big impact. A neurochemistry change in the dura, that is the increase of the amount of nitrite oxide, originated from an excessive NOS (inducible NOS) activation during ictal. Some researchers assume NO as a main cause of the pain intensity in ictal. ...

The Profile of Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) to Decrease Migraine Pain

Oral pharmacological therapy to abort a migraine ictal has a slow impact because of the absorbance problem during ictal. There occurs an endocannabinoids deficiency on the migraine sufferer. Endocannabinoids are known to press the inflammation process in the trigeminal ganglion through the decrease ...

Migraine Abort Therapy Using Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation, A Study on the Role of NO and Cerebellum in the Migraine Pathophysiology

Oral therapy to abort a migraine ictal slowed in effect because of the absorption problem during ictal. There was an endocannabinoids deficiency on the migraine sufferer. Endocannabinoids suppressed the inflammation of the trigeminal ganglia. ...

Intra Operative Neurophysiologic Spinal Cord Monitoring in Spine Surgery in Children

The aim of our study is to assess the importance of IONM by showing the sensitivity of the multimodality IONM associating SSEP and NMEP in the detection of spinal cord injury during spine surgery, and the correlation between the modifications of those potentials and neurological post-operative deficit. ...

Dopaminergic Medication Amplifies Sensory Integration Deficits During Static Balance in Parkinson's Patients with Freezing of Gait

Over the past year, research has begun to identify greater balance deficits in Parkinson's patients who experience freezing of gait (Freezers) compared to those who do not (Non-freezers). Recently, sensory impairments have been suggested to be a key mechanism that underlies freezing of gait in Parkinson's disease ...

Test-Retest Reliability of the Ruff Figural Fluency Test

The Ruff Figural Fluency Test (RFFT), originally designed by Ruff et al. in 1987 [1], is a neuropsychological testing instrument frequently used in clinical, medical, and research settings as an indication of non-verbal fluency reflective of potential right hemispheric deficits. Research on the RFFT has shown ...

The Experience and Opinions of Migraineurs about Complementary/Alternative Medicine Therapies

Headache and migraine are among the top five conditions treated with complementary/alternative medicine (CAM) therapies, despite the scarcity of relevant scientific studies. As CAM use is initiated mostly by the patients, insight into patients' opinions about these methods may improve ...

The Use of Neuroimaging Techniques to Complement the Investigation of Specific Functional Disorders in Schoolchildren

The learning disorders have extensive bibliography, possibly because these difficulties show a major challenge for education professionals such as psychologists, educational psychologists and speech therapists. It is important to the work of an interdisciplinary team to rescue and modify educational strategies, ...

Neuronal Control of Gut Melatoninergic System in Carp

Demonstration of the role of food and feeding time in determining daily rhythm profiles of gut derived melatonin in carp (Catla catla) led to present study on the mechanism of neural regulation of its gut melatoninergic system. In this in vitro study, different pharmacological agents were used to demonstrate ...

New Neurological Disorders in a New Patient. Long Term VEGFR Inhibitors Effects

Currently, several cancer therapies are based on neutralizing anti-VEGF antibodies and small-molecular-weight tyrosine-kinase inhibitors that target the VEGFRs. These new strategies for cancer treatment show the clinical relevance of inhibiting VEGF signal-transduction pathways that are exaggerated in pathological angiogenesis. ...

Post Herpes Simplex Virus -1 Anti -NMDA Receptor Antibody Encephalitis in a 2.5-Year- Old Child: Case Report

Acute clinical worsening after initial improvement in a patient treated for Herpes Simplex Virus-1 (HSVE) encephalitis is a clinical dilemma. The worsening can be either evolvement of new neurological symptoms or worsening of initial symptoms. ...

Neurolytic Injection of Botulinum Toxin Type A and Phenol for Spasticity a Patient with Traumatic Brain Injury

To evaluate the effects of Botulinum Toxin Type A (BTX-A) and 7% Phenol injection in the management of spasticity in a patient with traumatic brain injury at the University Hospital of the West Indies (UHWI). ...

Goldenhar Syndrome-Two Case Report

Goldenhar syndrome (oculo-auriculo-vertebral dysplasia with hemifacialmicrosomia) is a rare congenital developmental anomaly involving the first and second branchial arches [1]. The incidence of Goldenhar syndrome has been reported to be between 1:3500 and 1:5600, with a male: female ratio of 3:2[2]. The exact ...

The Changing Cognitive Function and Quality of Life in Post Stroke Patients in Sanglah Hospital Bali

Incidence of stroke increases sharply with age and the cognitive sequelae of stroke increases significantly along with the increasing number of elderly. Stroke is a syndrome characterized by sudden disruption of blood supplyto the brain and therapid development of focal neurologicaldeficit. Stroke is a significant ...

Patterned Approach to Brain FDG PET Imaging in Dementia - Few Case Vignettes and Literature Review

Dementia, a disorder due to cognitive decline, results in impairment in attention, language, memory, executive function, social cognition and perceptual motor [1]. With the fast paced advancements in health care leading to prolonged life span and ageing communities, the elderly population at risk of dementia is increasing. ...

Brain Abscess with Actinomyces and Streptococcus Intermedius in an Immunocompetent Patient without Previous Infection

Brain abscesses occur in both immunocompetent and immunosuppressed individuals. Depending upon the immunological status of the patient, clinical risk factors and causative organisms, which may be multiple in a single lesion, are variable. ...
